Public Debates

Through the Warwick Debating Union, our public debates sub-committee, we invite leading experts and influential figures for public debates on the most pressing issues of our time. Throughout the last academic year, the Union established itself as the host of some of the most engaging, animated and thought provoking events at Warwick. All of our events are free for everyone to attend.

Our panels of prestigious speakers have previously included Chris Bryant MP (Shadow Minister for Borders and Immigration), Peter Jenkins (Former British Representative to the UN in Vienna), Natasha Devon (Cosmopolitan’s Ultimate Woman of the Year), Andrew Copson (CEO of the British Humanist Association), Dr. Judy MacArthur Clark (Head of the Animals in Science Regulation Unit at the Home Office), Matthew Sinclair (CEO of the TaxPayer’s Alliance), Dr. Andrew Knight (European Veterinary Specialist in Welfare Science, Ethics and Law).
